Dav Pilkey
Cartoonist: Dav Pilkey
Location: The Pacific
As a child, Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hall every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories, so he spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books.
In second grade, Dav Pilkey created a comic book about a superhero named Captain Underpants. His teacher ripped it up and told him he couldn’t spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.
Dav has gone on to create award-winning and bestselling books for children.
His Captain Underpants series has more than 80 million copies in print worldwide and has been translated into more than 28 languages.
In 2017, DreamWorks Animation brought the character to the silver screen in the feature film adaptation "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie," and "Netflix" is now streaming "The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants" TV show.
